Weber Bias rite took a dump, what is the best replacement ?

[napalmdeath]

I use this one. Been reliable for a few years, and I like the switch to read/adjust each side. Cheap too!

well, not looking good for my Bias rite.

Called Weber can't reach them on the phone. I emailed them about a repair 4 days ago and have not heard back.

Fuck !

This guy was $61 with USPS Priority shipping.

Not as fancy as the Weber but it'll do a pair of tubes at a time.

May have to go this route, does this show you plate voltage as well

Looks like the amp-head unit. If so, then yes this does read plate voltage if you order with that option. It will then have a switch to read out plate voltage. This unit is the best of both worlds. Safe connection same as a bias rite, but you can use any multimeter of your choice. I a Fluke with mine.

I also recommend reading plate voltage. On top of that, get a voltage regulator so your amp always sees 120V. Otherwise the plate voltage reading when you bias it may be meaningless in the future - if your AC voltage changes in the future. Mine changes throughout the day.

It is indeed that Amp-Head one. I am going to email them now to see if I can add the Pv option as I don't think mine shipped yet.

Just called Amp-Head and they do not offer the Plate Voltage option anymore.

My Dual shipped out today.

It's still a great unit for measuring the bias. You'll be happy with it!

I use a Bias Rite and MM and never had a problem.

Do not play your guitar through amp with those plugged in though - for those who might be doing that.

Well never did hear from Weber about repairing my Bias rite !

I did do however think I fixed it. The switch for the plate voltage/cathode current was not working properly. if I pushed strait down on it it would work. I cleaned it with deoxit and it seams to be working fine now. Checked it againts my multimeter.
